Kay Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 I would speak to the vet in the morning regarding the jill jab , let them advise you on that, i think if there ok giving her one tomorrow i would opt for that rather than a vasectomised hob this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingnut Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Hi Darren m, if its any use , i have just got a vasectomised hob, to bring my 2 jills out of season, if it helps you could borrow him for a couple of days, send me a PM if ihe can be of use.

darren m Posted August 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 hi lads and Kay -- thanks for your advice , i was at the vets first thing , they gave her the jab and checked her over ie. feeling for lumps , everything seemed ok except she was tender around the ovaries ( which was to be expected the vet said ). so she as a good chance of pulling through , then i,m going to get her spayed. anyone know how long the jab takes to bring them out of season ?? would a bit of liver be ok ie she as aniemia but thinking the iron may be good for her ?? yes/no good to see you again Kay i,ve not been on hunting .life for ages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 I wouldn't change her food from what you normally feed her. Its good to hear she is going to be OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darren m Posted August 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 hi all -- unfortunatly my jill died , started to pick up slightly then went down hill very fast . when she died she looked kinda yellow , so i,m guessing liver failure , poor girl . i buried her amongst the rabbit warrens in the paddocks at the stables where we first met . my other jill , her daughter is doing ok as far as i can tell , BUT i have noticed her coat or skin is looking a bit blue-ish in colour :yp: anyone think of a reason for this . thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darren m Posted September 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Thanks Kay - i really did love that little stinker , she had such a personality B) any ideas on the little jill with the bluish tinge to her skin , ever come across anything like that . maybe its her new coat coming through !!!!! she did loose a bit of fur when in season . cant really tell. shes active and eating well and if anything getting a bit fat :yp: thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
